  1. Undressing 'Jack The Stripper' - Part 2

    2D AGO

    Undressing 'Jack The Stripper' - Part 2

    He's the London serial killer you may never have even knew existed - from the late 1950's to the mid 1960's, West London was shocked by the deaths of several sex workers, stripped, strangled, and their bodies dumped unceremoniously, like pieces of rubbish. It's commonly considered to be the UK's most prolific series of unsolved serial killings, claiming more victims than his similar namesake the previous century, and in a joint 8 part series between myself, and the award nominated Murder Mile podcast, each week myself and Mike will examine the case in full detail, sifting through misinformation, lies, rumour and perhaps even downright corruption. The True Crime Enthusiast and Murder Mile have brought you so far the accounts of four dead women – Elizabeth Figg, Gwyneth Rees, Hannah Tailford and Irene Lockwood, found dead around the river Thames over a four year period from 1959 to 1963 – with police considering: Was there another Ripper on the loose? Police were soon to believe that there was – with the deaths of another four women, whose tales we shall account in Part 2 and B. Join myself on The True Crime Enthusiast for parts 1 to 4, and Mike over on Murder Mile for parts A to D, as we continue Undressing - 'Jack The Stripper' The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of a sexual nature, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.  Music used in this episode: "The Descent" by Kevin Macleod.

    #348 - Undressing Jack the Stripper - Part B oF D (Hammersmith Nudes; Hannah Tailford & Irene Lockwood)

    This is Part B of D of Undressing Jack the Stripper, an eight part series made in conjunction with the True Crime Enthusiast podcast. From the late 1950s to the mid-1960s, the bodies of eight sex-workers (Elizabeth Figg, Gwynneth Rees, Hannah Tailford, Irene Lockwood, Helen Barthelemy, Mary Fleming, Margaret McGowan and Bridget O’Hara) were found dumped in or near the River Thames in West London. Panic spread that a sadistic serial killer was on the loose who targeted young petite brunettes; stripped and strangled them, dumped each body within weeks and streets of each other. Yet with not a single witness to his crimes, even though several suspects have since been named, with no convictions, it’s a series of killing which remains a mystery to this day. After the success of their ten-part series, Parychopath: Two Side of Patrick MacKay, Mike at Murder Mile and Paul at the True Crime Enthusiast join forces once again to bring you an eight-part crossover series about one of Britain’s most infamous unsolved serial killing – Jack the Stripper.

  3. Murder in Tiger Bay: Lynette White and the Cardiff Three | Ep. 249

    3D AGO

    Murder in Tiger Bay: Lynette White and the Cardiff Three | Ep. 249

    A 20-year-old woman is working in Cardiff’s docklands district in the early hours of February 14, 1988. She is trying to earn enough money to get through another night and return home safely by morning. Instead, Lynette White was subjected to a savage and sustained attack in a flat above a betting shop in Tiger Bay. By sunrise, she is dead, and one of the most notorious murder investigations in British history is about to begin. Police came under intense pressure to find Lynette’s killer quickly, and what followed was a case that shocked Wales and later the entire United Kingdom. Detectives arrested a group of local men, three of whom were convicted despite no reliable forensic evidence linking them to the crime. The alleged confession was fiercely disputed, allegations of police misconduct emerged, and years later the convictions were overturned, exposing a catastrophic miscarriage of justice that would become known as the story of the Cardiff Three. In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the murder of Lynette White and the long road to justice that followed for the Cardiff Three. From Lynette’s life in Cardiff and the events of that Valentine’s weekend, to the flawed police investigation, controversial interviews, false witness testimony, appeals, and the public outcry that followed, this is a deeply distressing true crime story of violence, corruption claims, and lives destroyed on every side. We also explore how advances in DNA testing finally identified Jeffrey Gafoor as Lynette’s killer more than a decade later. We break down the forensic breakthrough, his eventual confession, the sentence handed down, and the lasting impact the case had on British policing and criminal justice. This is a heartbreaking story about a young woman failed in life and death, three innocent men imprisoned, and the truth taking far too long to emerge.

  4. When Trust Turned Fatal: The Murder of Keeley Bunker | Ep. 248

    6D AGO

    When Trust Turned Fatal: The Murder of Keeley Bunker | Ep. 248

    A 20-year-old woman returns to Tamworth after a night out in Birmingham watching one of her favourite artists perform. She’s laughing with friends, making plans for the next day, and looking ahead to a job interview that could bring her dream of working with children one step closer. It should have been an ordinary journey home. Instead, by the following evening, her family are searching streets and parkland with torches before making a discovery that would devastate an entire community. Keeley Bunker had trusted the man walking beside her. Wesley Streete was no stranger lurking in the dark. He was someone she had known since infant school, a familiar face from childhood, someone she believed would get her home safely. But detectives would soon uncover a trail of lies, changing stories, CCTV footage, phone data and forensic evidence that painted a far more sinister picture of what happened in the early hours of September 19, 2019. In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the murder of Keeley Bunker and the shocking betrayal at the heart of the case. From the Aitch concert and night out in Birmingham, to the frantic missing person search in Tamworth, the discovery of Keeley’s body in Wigginton Park, and the police investigation that followed, this is a deeply distressing case of violence against women, misplaced trust, and a young life stolen far too soon. We also explore the trial at Stafford Crown Court, where jurors heard evidence of repeated lies, multiple changing accounts, and further sexual offences against other women. We break down the prosecution case, the digital evidence that tracked Streete’s movements, the verdicts, and the life sentence handed down in August 2020. This is a heartbreaking true crime story about trust exploited, justice for Keeley Bunker, and the lasting pain left behind when someone never makes it home.
